"Then in May - I'm fighting in May - I'm going to have a big surprise for you. Everybody tune in."

The fight in May that Mayweather hints at could well be a long-awaited clash with Amir Khan.

Khan declared himself "very disappointed" following Mayweather's decision to fight Maidana rather than him in May.
